The Image of Christ in Modern Art explores the challenges, presented by the radical and rapid changes of artistic style in
the 20th century, to artists who wished to relate to traditional Christian imagery. In this highly illustrated book, Richard
Harries looks at artists associated with the birth of modernism, such as Epstein and Rouault, as well as those with a highly
distinctive understanding of religion such as Chagall and Stanley Spencer. Through a beautiful range of images and insightful
text, Harries suggests that the modern movement in art has turned out to be a friend not a foe of Christian art

"Benjamin Webster ("Webb") Baker inlisted in the Union Army in 1861 and embarked on a grisly campaign marked by horrid conditions
in camp and absolute hell in combat. Webb's enthusiasm for the cause was sorely tested by the thundering chaos of battle,
but even that could not vanquish the patriotism which burned within him."--Container

The evil of the holocaust demands a radical rethink of the traditional Christian understanding of Judaism. This does not mean
jettisoning Christianity's deepest convictions in order to make it conform to Judaism. Rather, Richard Harries develops the
work of recent Jewish scholarship to discern resonances between central Christian and Jewish beliefs. This thought-provoking
book offers fresh approaches to contentious and sensitive issues. A key chapter on the nature of forgiveness is sympathetic
to the Jewish charge that Christians talk much too easily about forgiveness. Another chapter on suffering in Judaism and Christianity
rejects the usual stereotypes and argues for important common ground, for example in the idea that God suffers in the suffering
of his people. There are also chapters on the state of Israel and the place of Jerusalem in Christian and Jewish thought.
Richard Harries argues that the basic covenant is not with either Judaism or Christianity but with humanity. These, like other
religions, are different, distinctive voices in response to God's primal affirmation of human life, which for Christians is
achieved and given in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the light of this the author maintains--controversially
--that Christians should not be trying to convert Jews to Christianity. Rather Jews and Christians should stand together and
build on the great amount they have in common to work together for a better world. -- PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION

"The authors chose their highlights with care. The selection provides a framework of development giving new insights into
what it means to be a twenty-first century Christian. Readers can enjoy any of these essays in its own right; individually
each chapter shows the changes of development in the history of ideas: the very changes of atmosphere. This book gains its
full effect, therefore, by being read in the round. As a finale, the Bishop of Oxford, Richard Harries, concludes with a thought
for the future: How should Christianity proceed into the new millennium?"--Jacket

"In recent centuries, with the notable exception of Hans Urs von Balthasar, Christian theology has failed to find a proper
place for beauty. Richard Harries shows how a biblical faith can give a key place to it, and he argues for a distinctively
Christian approach to art which is also sensitive to the spiritual dimension in all art."--Jacket

When Barack Obama praised the writings of philosopher theologian Reinhold Niebuhr in the run up to the 2008 US Presidential
Elections, he joined a long line of top politicians who closely engaged with Niebuhr's ideas, including Tony Benn, Jimmy Carter,
Martin Luther King Jr. and Dennis Healey. Beginning with his early ministry amongst industrial workers in early twentieth
century Detroit, Niebuhr displayed a passionate commitment to social justice that infused his life's work. Rigorously championing
'Christian Realism' he sought a practically orientated intellectual engagement with the political challenges of his day. His
ideas on International Relations have also helped to shape debate amongst leading academic thinkers and policy makers. In
both Christian and secular contexts he continues to attract new readers today. In this timely re-evaluation both critics and
disciples of Niebuhr's work reflect on his notable contribution to Christian social ethics, the Christian doctrine of humanity,
and the engagement of Christian thought with contemporary politics. The authors bring a wide range of expertise from both
sides of the Atlantic, indicating how a re-evaluation of Niebuhr's thought can help inform contemporary debates on Christian
social ethics and other wider theological issues
